How to externally manipulate object store when using Simulator

Former Member over 8 years ago

I'd like to be able to reset the object store from the command line. I'd be even happier if I could change values or at least backup/restore the object store state.

I see the shell has file system commands but can't figure out how to list the files and obtain handles & addresses.

To reset you can delete the file in %temp%\GARMIN\Apps\Settings

If it's settings (the .set file - app settings) Peter's path is correct.

If it's the object store (the .str file) - instead of the Settings folder, it's the data folder instead

Is it possible to parse and edit the files with suffix .DAT inside

$TMPDIR/GARMIN/APPS/DATA

, which seems to be the file for "Storage.s/getValue".

There's actually 3 files involved. I'm not sure what info is in each one.

Hard to say. I opened the DAT with the linux command cat but to find all content messed up.

They seem to be binary files.
